Hi, my name is Kimmie and I can't get away from using big bags. Not just large ones but those that seem to fit everything and the kitchen sink too. I didn't realize how much I needed to diversify my carry cases until I went out with one of my friends to some clubs in the Meat Packing District. I borrowed one of her bags every time I went out (she had the perfect limited edition bags of everything from Dior to Gucci to Mr Vuitton himself. I realized that I needed to join the ranks of those that carry the tiny clutches so that I could go out at night without feeling that I was lugging everything around with me. Besides, there are a lot of choices out there and I have fallen in love with a version that I believe will be perfect for this fall and winter!

Cole Haan has a Mini Zip Hobo that is super cute and has all the elements that make it something that is perfect for this season. This bag is apart of the Village Weave Collection and comes in either a leather or velvet woven style. I absolutely love the brown velvet and love that like the leather version which is perfect for the summer and can go into the fall (seriously it is year around) - the velvet makes it dressier and will look perfect on the evenings when you go out and its chilly outside but you have this luxurious velvet piece that becomes a conversation element since it is braided. In addition, it is embellished with antiqued hardware which gives it a level of class and quality that will make this a favorite for any night out.

It retails for $195 which is typical of bags of this type; however, I like the idea that it has the feel of a unique bag that you don't feel like you will see over and over again. Once again I like that this bag can be worn with so many pieces that this makes its price seem nominal since it will become a staple!
